Virgo New Moon 10/10/26
The New Moon exacts on Sept 10th at 18 degrees of Virgo at 11:26 pm ET. This New Moon forms a sextile with Mars. And it's in a near-square (by 8 degrees) to Royal Star Tishtar (Aldebaran), the Guardian of the Eastern Sky. There is an unwavering energy of resolve with this New Moon, and new beginning.
For the first time in 18 months, the South Node is no longer in Virgo, lifting a heavy weight that has been holding the Virgoan shadows to account. This New Moon carries a sense of possibility and freedom that wasn’t quite there in the last 2 years.
Virgo reminds us that transformation sustains through the small choices we make every day. It is through what we devote our time and energy to everyday that truly matters in giving shape to the live we desire. What matters is our routines, our practices, the conversations we have, and the ways we care for ourselves and others.
This New Moon forms a supportive sextile to Mars in Cancer, reminding us that sometimes the most courageous thing we can do is move with consistency.
Close by to the New Moon sits Tishtar (Aldebaran), the Royal Star known as the Guardian of the Eastern Sky in ancient Iranian cosmology. Throughout history, this star has been associated with integrity, courage, and walking a path that remains true even when it isn't the easiest one. It reminds us that lasting success isn't measured just by recognition, but also by how aligned our actions are with our values.
On the very day of this New Moon, Uranus also stations retrograde, turning this radical planet of awakenings inward.
What has surprised or disrupted you over recent months is now asking to be integrated. Rather than seeking the next breakthrough, you're being invited to understand the one you've already received.
Some of the collective themes of this New Moon are:
choosing consistency over perfection
aligning your actions with your intentions
refining priorities rather than adding more
embracing change without abandoning stability
preparing the ground for the season ahead
And most of all, this New Moon asks:
What kind of life are your daily choices creating?
Virgo reminds us that our sense of purpose is woven into ordinary moments of our everyday life. Whether it be one conversation or one promise kept to yourself, its the everyday details that hold the key.
